Long-term mortality in outpatients with type 2 diabetes in a reference hospital in Cameroon: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract

The mortality rate in patients with T2DM is high in our population, with acute metabolic complications as the leading cause. Patients with advanced age, raised HbA1c, anaemia or proteinuria are at higher risk of death and therefore represent the target of interest to prevent mortality in T2DM.
